GAL APPROVED Bags, Shoes & Clothes – Oh My!

STORE. Shoes, shoes and more shoes! The DivaGals were in heaven at the grand opening of ClarksSoHo, here in New York City. This block-long shoe retreat is sleek and chic, with comfy seating to lounge as you salivate over the fantastic footwear. This location sells designs from its British roots exclusively (that’s right, you can’t even get them online). And yep, it’s worth a trip to the Big Apple. We loved a candy-colored patent leather shoe with bold detailing and the menswear trend that’s hot for fall. Of course, you can get Clarks Original in the second part of the store. With a highly-trained staff that can almost anticipate your perfect style, we couldn’t get enough … and we know you can’t either. See more looks on our DivaGals FB page!

STASH. The Snob Essentials Crocco-Embossed Magazine Tote, scored at the HSN NY Fashion Week SS15 Lounge, has become a personal favorite even though I am not a fan of faux leather and fur. It’s a clean-cut tote with a removable croc-embossed clutch that does indeed, perfectly stash my essentials. I was surprised how much it holds, and how light it still feels on my shoulder. Get your own version at HSN.com.

(JET) SET. After finishing up NY Fashion Week, the DivaGals could use a vacation! How about jet-setting to Curaçao, the “C” of the ABC Caribbean islands. At the “Business As Unusual” fete, hosted by exclusive social network ELEQT on The Attic lounge rooftop, and while sipping the Blue Curaçao courtesy of Iceberg Vodka, we learned that JetBlue will offer nonstop flights on Tuesdays and Saturdays to the beautiful isle, starting Dec. 2. Winter in a warm climate? Sign us up!

SHOP. Last week, TV DivaGal attended Fashion Rocks (thanks Slate ladies), which aired on CBS. Along with experiencing live performances from Jennifer Hudson, Nicki Minaj, Jennifer Lopez and Duran Duran, I got to see the latest fall pieces available at Macy’s. And now Macys.com is having a five-day sale where items are up to 50 percent off! Let the fall shopping begin!
